9 Chris Columbus Films Illustrated in Ink

Celebrate Columbus Day with Chris Columbus Films

While the Italian explorer and colonist Christopher Columbus may be canceled because of the hideous violence he enacted on the native people of the Caribbean, many institutions still hold a national holiday in his honor. However, instead of celebrating the original Christopher Columbus, it's more fitting in 2018 to pay homage to his 21st-century namesake—director, writer and producer Chris Columbus.

Columbus is the man behind many of your favorite films and his career has lasted over four decades. Take a look at just 9 of his most famous contributions to film and the fans who've illustrated these movies into permanent tattoos.
